This one is gorgeous! It reminds me a little of one of mine that's in the 1st 2 pics - in the 2nd pic it's stacked with a dark nephrite. Jade bangles is a slippery slope as others have mentioned. You may not want to stop at one bangle once you get one. If you really love this one, go for it and you can shop for a princess while you enjoy this one. :graucho:


Ms. Blue, the 3rd pic is for you - I rarely stack, but yesterday evening I kept this dark nephrite stack on. You can see that the thicker bangle is more green like yours. The same thinner dark nephrite is in the 2nd & 3rd pics, but its dark green looks different due to the lighting.

Oh wow I'm loving that colour combo of the blue with the dark!

Wow, incredible jade haul! We need some more pictures of these beauties. Maybe some modelling shots? Are you going to use the dougnut as a pendant?

Snow is out of this world! Do you have one of those torch light thingies cos I'd love to see a pic of it shining through.


Decided to take a couple of quick pics of Fatty because the OPI nail polish I put on this evening seems to really bring out her lavender patch. It's called "How great is your Dane" (which is totally nuts lol) and it's like a really dark greyish mink with a hint of purple.

And then I had to snap her greens because they went so well with a green checked shirt of my husband's that I chucked on to take the kids to the park earlier :D

And one more. My kitchen light seems to really bring out her colours <3

I hear of both ways so it's subjective. If I were to guess, maybe more find princesses easier to go smaller because there is less surface area of jade touching your skin when putting it on, so less friction. While I find it easier to go smaller in princesses, others find princesses more painful. You'll just have to try both to see which way it is for you! ;-)

Just wanted to add that I have a princess as big as 57mm and I find it clunky since its outside width is wider than D-shapes in the same inner dia. Still love her though, but would wear her more if she was smaller.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm learning so much from this thread. Super excited for when I get my first piece!

Is it typical to size up for d shaped bangles? I always thought it was the opposite?
Click to expand...

Yes in general you should size up for a d shape bangle especially if it is a wide d. I find with princess you have to get the size right or it will be very clunky because the outer width is much wider. For example I prefer 50mm on a princess. For a d shape bangle I prefer 51-52 but can probably go to 53 if it is wide. 1-3 mm won't make as much difference to me on a d but it does with a princess.

Great pics and love the nail color! I'll have to look for it here in the US!

Ugh I'm so annoyed with USPS. I got my mom a black nephrite bead bracelet and it was supposedly delivered to my mailbox but is nowhere to be found. I'm going to the post office tomorrow to see if they can help but I bet the mailman delivered to the wrong mailbox and they kept it.
